Exceptional customer service, he was always available for the many questions we had about the area, busses and train schedules/ticket options. When leaving, he not only drove us to the station, but helped us secure the correct tickeys/routes. Kenji is an exceptionally kind and attentive individual!

Really enjoyed my cosy 2 night stay here inside the 2 floor economy villa. Clean and Functional with everything you need! Thank you Ken for hosting, and thanks for both keeping our luggages on our last day and then offering to send us to the tobu-Nikko station in order to catch our train! Will definitely consider here again the next time I'm back in Nikko!

This was a lovely, spacious space for a family to stay in. The location was perfect, walkable to the train station, buses, and world heritage temples. There was a beautiful view to wake up to as well. And our host, Kenji, was so friendly and helpful, giving us advice and enthusiastic recommendations. I couldn't recommend Stay Nikko more, we loved it.

A clean and friendly Guesthouse
The host is incredibly friendly and provides detailed explanations about Nikko. The place is exceptionally clean and tidy, including the floor under the sofa. The room is more spacious than expected, and the movable table allows us to easily open our large luggage in the room without any issues.

去日光時的最佳住宿,主人非常熱情,詳細解說賞楓季節時的交通建議及餐廳建議。距離東武日光站約10分鐘內,2人小屋雖小但五臟俱全,備品準備比飯店還齊全,買小食或水果回小屋享用也很方便。另外一點注意,小屋的床鋪在閣樓,有樓梯可以爬,如果較年長的旅客要小心。下次有機會再訪日光,還是會選擇這裡。

A Winter Wonderland Christmas
This was a perfect stay for our family of 5 over three nights. We were in town for a hockey tournament. There were enough beds for all of us to sleep comfortably. Each of our kids had thier own bed and my husband and I shared the full/queen. Seriously, this might be the most comfortable place we have stayed in Japan over the last two years. My younger two really enjoyed the bunk bed set up. We woke up to a winter wonderland and the view from our room was breathtaking. I'm from southern California and so are my kids, so the snow was enchanting. It was a wonderful location to celebrate Christmas with the family in between games. Our villa had a microwave, toaster oven, and fridge with freezer, dishes, utensils, a kettle, more than enough towels and toiletries. The host is incredibly welcoming, kind, and informative. He had a map layed out and labeled for us in English of great places to eat and visit that were within walking distance. He took the time to explain it all to us. I enjoyed reading all the notes previous vistors have left in the guest books. Nikko is incredibly beautiful and this modern space fits in nicely, a few streets back from the main road.
From the big window downstairs. The villa has a little patio.
From the big window up stairs you can see the river flowing.
We brought our own little Christmas tree and woke up to this beautiful view!

Comfy, convenient, friendly, helpful... Marvelous
A marvelous stay in a spacious and well equipped apartment. Not just a room, it included a kitchenette and lovely views, and a certain personalized charm. Way more than one would expect for the price, especially suitable for a family. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. They had lots of good advice and were willing to find out more if need be. They spoke good English and pointed us to our best meal in Japan. I'd certainly stay here again and again.

Thanks for a great weekend getaway
Cute, comfortable place on the river. Short walk (~3 blocks) from downtown Central Nikko. Lots of food options nearby, and reasonable walking distance to Nikko Shrines. Owner was extremely helpful and provided lots of recommendations for restaurants, hiking, and sightseeing. Would gladly stay here again when I visit Nikko

Stay Nikko Guesthouse was extremely welcoming and cozy. We loved our little 2-level house with the roomy bunks. It was full of charm and had modern amenities. We were allowed to leave our bags early before check-in and also late after check-out so we were able to make the most of our stay. Definitely get the Japanese breakfast it was delicious! We highly recommend!
